Some of my favorite Saturday mornings are under the bridge. Crossfit Central’s free community workout occurs once a month under the Mopac bridge at 8:30 a.m. It’s a good time and place to be alive in Austin. The temperature is usually perfect and the buzz of energy from the walkers, joggers, cyclists, and rowers makes you realize what a special place this is. And then our warm-up begins….high knees, running in place, squats, push-ups, (if you know what comes next-you too may be addicted), rotations, agility ladders, lunges, etc…the energy under the bridge escalates from a buzz to a rhythm to a roar as the workout gets underway and all 70 of us contribute with command to the collective energy of Saturday morning in Austin, under the bridge.
